Look and feel
The Plus500 web platform has a clean, well-designed look and is easy to use. The platform works in dark mode as well. On the downside, you cannot customize the platform.
Login and security
Plus500 provides a safe, two-step login. Google and Facebook authentication are also available, which is quite convenient.
Search functions
The search function is great, finding assets and information on the platform is a breeze. Products are categorized on the left side of the screen and you can search by typing in the product name.
Placing orders
You can use the following order types:
- Market
- Limit
- Stop
- Trailing stop
- Guaranteed stop
Use the guaranteed stop to close your position at a predermined level, even if there is a large market movement. Be aware that this function entails a wider spread, which is the cost of using this order type.
These orders can be canceled any time before execution, i.e. they are Good 'till Canceled (GTC). However, there are no other order time limits provided.

Alerts and notifications
We liked the platform's alert and notification functions. They are highly useful, as investor accounts can easily lose money when not notified of sudden price changes. You can set up email, SMS and push notifications.
The alerts will let you know if the price of an asset reaches a certain level or changes by a set percentage. Additionally, you can sign up to be alerted if the Plus500 Traders' Sentiment (the percentage of buyers and sellers among Plus500 customers) reaches a certain level.
Portfolio and fee reports
Plus500 provides transparent portfolio and fee reports that clearly indicate how much you paid in overnight fees. You can check the composition of your current portfolio in the bar at the top of the platform.
Multiple Charts
Plus500 clients can view up to 9 charts simultaneously on WebTrader. To enable Multiple Charts on the web trading platform, look for a button with four quadrants on the chart's toolbar.
Plus500 WebTrader app
The Plus500 mobile platform is very similar to the web platform. It has the same functionalities and the same user-friendly design; clients can use the same order types and notification options. The alerts and notifications are a great tool for investors trading CFDs, as they can be notified of sudden price changes.
You can download the trading app for iOS, Android and Windows. While the app also runs on smartwatches, we tested it the conventional way on an iOS smartphone. It was a great experience.
